Italy and Germany prevail. Ukraine and Argentina pack their bags.

For tomorrow, I think Brazil and Portugal will remain standing, and England and France will be done.

Argentina lost a tough one in a shoot-out, and the Ukraine-Italy game was actually closer than the 3-0 score indicated.

After the game was over, Italian fans went relatively wild in the streets.

I went to buy a barbecued chicken from a Portuguese churrasqueria up the street.

"So I guess you'll be cheering for England tomorrow," I innocently asked the counterman.

"Whad're you talking about?" he asked sharply.

When he calmed down a few seconds later, he expressed surprise that College was still the street for Italians to show their colours, given that way more Portuguese people live in the area now.

They might get their chance to party tomorrow.
